After listening to the story of the bard, Locke first thought of the three dwarves, in many fairy tales, dwarves have magical powers, just like the seven dwarfs who saved Snow White, can make the queen not act rashly, must have extraordinary power, and the three dwarves in this story can bless the girl and also apply curses, which is obviously very special.

The other people in the tavern were not as focused on Locke as Locke, and one of the drunkards couldn't help but ask, "Does that girl really spit out gold as soon as she speaks?" ”

"That's right, this happened more than a hundred years ago, and the girl was the queen of the country at that time, and it was thanks to the queen's gold that the country was able to expand from a principality to the current kingdom.

It's just a pity that the kings of the next few generations are extremely mediocre, and by now, the kingdom is crumbling, and if you are not careful, you may fall apart. ”

After a moment's sigh, the bard continued: "I have spoken so much here that only saliva comes out of my mouth, but with the queen, he can spit out a gold coin when he says a word. ”

"Oh my God, is there really such an amazing dwarf? As long as I help clear the snow, I can have such a magical ability, and if it were me, I would be willing to sweep the snow for ten days. The drunkard couldn't help but shout.

"Come on, you have the strength, you will only use it on the beds of the girls here, and you will definitely not be willing to help people clear the snow for free."

The drunkard who was being taunted turned red and glared fiercely at the person who was taunting him: "You guy with a butt on his head......"

"Good story." Locke ignored the arguing men, and as he spoke, he took out a silver coin and threw it to the bard: "Do you know where the girl in the story originally lived? ”

"Thank you, sir." The bard quickly caught the silver coin that Locke had rewarded, and then cautiously leaned over to Locke's side and whispered, "Sir, do you want to find those three dwarves too?" ”

"This story sounds interesting, and I want to see it." Locke said.

"This story has been going on for a hundred years, and as far as I know, there have been countless people who have tried to find the three dwarves, and even when the queen was alive, they sent people to the forest again to find them.

Even the next few kings had personally led people to look for them, but they had never heard of anyone finding those three magical dwarves again, and now, even the royal family did not believe in this story, or perhaps those three dwarves had already left the forest. ”

"You can tell me the location, I'm just going to try my luck, it doesn't matter if I can find it or not." Locke said and pulled out another silver coin.

"No problem, it's not a secret, it's not far from the royal city......" The bard took the silver coin and told Locke what he knew.

This is actually not unexpected, if it is too far away from the royal city, it is estimated that the girl will not meet the king so easily, after getting the address, Locke will go directly to the current royal city of this country.

He was able to confirm that the story was true, but according to the bard, it happened more than a hundred years ago, and Locke guessed that the three dwarves had either moved away or hidden, so for more than 100 years, countless people searched for it, but found nothing.

But Locke always has to make sure, after all, as a magician, he can always find some clues, and it is best that the three dwarves are just hidden, so that Locke can also see the magical power of those three dwarves.

Two days later, Locke arrives in the forest outside the town near the Intramus, where the story takes place.

It was also winter, and with the sound of squeaking from the stamped snow, Locke entered the forest.

Locke didn't just search with his eyes, he also launched a magical probe, carefully sensing any abnormal fluctuations in the forest.

Finally, after he had penetrated several kilometers into the forest, he had discovered a special wave of magic power, which was fleeting and might have been missed if it weren't for Locke's constant nervousness.

Locke's face showed joy on his face, and he quickly rushed in the direction of discovering the abnormal fluctuations, relying on his speed, and after a while, he was not far away, and he saw a house slightly shorter than an ordinary house standing quietly in a clearing in the forest.

The door of the house was open, and three dwarves with white beards stood at the door, and when they saw Locke approaching, one of the dwarves took the initiative to greet Locke: "Hello, a magician who does not belong to this world. ”

This sentence "a magician who does not belong to this world" made Locke's face change suddenly, he has been to the fairy tale world many times, and he has also seen many wizards and bishops of the Holy See here, and it is the first time that someone has directly recognized his origin, how can this not make him frightened.

After a moment of silence, Locke's expression regained his composure: "Indeed, to you, I am equivalent to a visitor from another world, and what makes me curious is, how did you know it when you first saw me?" ”

"It is fate that tells us that your actions affect the fate of this world, but your own fate is not fully connected to this world." The dwarf replied.

"So you already knew about my arrival, so you brought me to meet you?" The mystery of the other party made Locke have to guess that the trace of abnormal fluctuations just now was deliberately leaked by the other party, so as to lure him to the door.

Especially the fate that the other party said shows that the other party's strength is related to fate, and the power of fate can be said to be very, very tricky.

As far as Locke knows, every person and every creature in the world has its own destiny line, and at critical times, different choices will also trigger different fates.

If you have the ability to trigger fate, it is a real murder invisible, and even if you die, you don't know whose calculation it is.

He had thought that these three dwarves had special abilities, but he didn't expect them to be such special abilities.

Thinking of this, Locke was extremely wary of the three dwarves in front of him.

"Great, the goddess of luck who can bring good luck and bad luck!" Another dwarf said.

"So more than a hundred years ago, there was a girl who was blessed?" Locke asked.

"That's right, that kind girl was loved by us, so we gave her three blessings with the power bestowed by the goddess, and the other girl was cursed.

And you don't have to worry, the magician from another world, if you want, can get the blessing of the goddess. ”

"You don't have to do anything to be blessed, and I don't believe there's a free lunch in this world." Locke replied, and he believed in one sentence more, 'All the gifts of fate have already been marked with a price.' ’

Just like the girl who was blessed before, he was indeed blessed, and the king who married her also got benefits, not only marrying a beauty, but also allowing the country to gain a lot of wealth, and even the country became strong because of it.

But perhaps wealth came too easily, and their descendants were arrogant and lascivious, but in just three generations, the inheritance had almost been corrupted, and now the kingdom was in ruins.

According to Locke's judgment, if there are no other accidents, the current kingdom may be finished in a short time, which may be the price of fate's blessing.

"It seems that you are a clever and wise magician." The last dwarf said: "But you don't have to worry, you have already paid the price of fate, and what you have done in this world is enough for you to gain the favor of fate, so do you have to accept the blessing of fate?" ”
